Thank you Chery and Sue for a lovely weekend. The cottage has been fab, charming, idylic. Highlights include the garden and the birdsong CD in the lounge, as well as the DVD selection (Wind in the Willows really impressive). It has been a perfect place for our reunion, after meeting in Australia last year. Thank you so much.

Thank you for a wonderful two and a half weeks kind Cheryl and Sue. We had such a marvellous time in your cosy Midsomer Cottage, and we thank you both for your incredible warmth, kindness and graciousness!

Our family of five stayed in this wonderful Victorian property in December and cannot fault it. The property owner Sue was a delight and so very welcoming, Sue went out of her way to help settle us in and to pass on advice on best places to eat, local walks etc etc. The house is full of character, warm, clean and very comfortable. Our children loved the quirky layout (actually we adults did to) Its in a perfect location and the village is beautiful and offers a choice of places to eat right on the doorstep. I could not fault any aspect of this property and if you prefer to cook at home then the kitchen has everything you will need. We hope to go back one day. Thanks Sue

Cosy, clean and convinient !
We really enjoyed our stay in Midsomer cottage. It was everything we hoped for and needed. The Iffley village is a very charming neighbourhood, and it was very convinient with the bus running into Oxford, but also very nice to walk into the center. I can really recomend it!!

Midsomer cottage was the perfect place for a friends reunion and a great base for visiting Oxford. Sue was friendly and replied promptly when organising our stay, and Cheryl could not have been more welcoming or accommodating when we arrived! I would stay again and recommend it to others.

Thank you so much for a lovely stay - it was very chilled out and a lovely, slightly strange house. We loved it.

Sue and her housekeeper, Cheryl, went out of their way to make sure we had all the info we needed before our trip and to provide everything we could want on arrival. Midsomer Cottage lived up to its description - it was spotlessly clean and warm (on a very cold December weekend!) and the perfect location for exploring Oxford and the surrounding area. Couldn't recommend it highly enough!

Dear Sue,
I posted a review on TripAdvisor about Midsomer, but wanted to write you directly to tell you that John and I has the most glorious time at Midsomer. From the moment we arrived and were greeted by the most wonderful welcome basket to our last day when we bid Cheryl farewell, our stay with absolutely perfect.
We had been looking for an experience like Midsomer and Iffley since we first starting letting flats in Oxford four years ago. While the other flats were perfectly fine, all were in modern apartment complexes in Summertown and Jericho and none had the Iffley feeling – a real community. We frequented the Village Shop, the Prince of Wales pub, walked every day along the tow path. In other words for two weeks, we were able to feel like real Iffley residents. We even have the good fortune of knowing someone who lives in the village.
Midsomer is a joy – so beautifully and thoughtfully designed – perfectly equipped – comfortable and living next door to Cheryl was so great! She – as everyone says – is such a bonus. Lovely, knowledgeable, and a fund of local information.
Thank you for everything and we look forward to returning to Midsomer in the future.
Warm wishes,
Susan
